Well, I agree I GUESS. That said, he hung in there and fought HARD for 5 rds after being basically decapitated in the 1st. He defended all takedowns up till then. He gassed as a result. The fight might've been different, so a rematch isn't a guaranteed replay. But he should'nt have to fight more than once. Cain lost HARD in 1 minute and only fought once not against a top 5 guy and got a rematch. I say give JDS like a Struve and then rematch. That'd be the same.If not, you REALLY gotta think they did want Cain as champ and don't want the rematch for other reasons.

Well of course there would be no immediate rematch - who would even suggest that? It would be absurd.

The problem for the UFC comes though if Bigfoot beats Overeem - which is definitely possible, though Overeem is deservedly the favorite.

I don't know what they'd do with Cain if Bigfoot won. Would he just get sidelined forever, hoping that Werdum beats Nog? Or would they maybe cancel the Werdum-Nog fight and just put Werdum into the title fight?

I think maybe they should consider scrapping Overeem-Bigfoot all together, because if Bigfoot wins it totally screws everything up.

ShaqNoob - 1 minute actually. You saying that the rematch, which was not immediate, after tonight's result is one of the dumbest things I've read all year.

Well he's right, Cain only got this because Overeem tested positive.

Saying that someone who got KOed in 64 seconds then wins only one single fight (a win against someone coming off a brutal 1st round KO loss no less) has somehow "earned" a title shot, is just false. Cain got lucky Overeem screwed up, and that the HW division has no depth.

As for saying the rematch was deserved because of tonight's result, that's silly. Matchmakers aren't psychic.
